About Nairobi

Nairobi, capitale dynamique du Kenya et point de départ des safaris en Afrique de l'Est, avec un parc national où la faune côtoie les gratte-ciel.

Le parc national de Nairobi se trouve juste au-delà de la banlieue, et ses lions, rhinocéros, girafes et buffles s'observent avec les gratte-ciel à l'horizon. Tout près, un orphelinat élève de jeunes éléphants sauvés dans tout le Kenya, et le Giraffe Centre permet de rencontrer face à face de rares girafes de Rothschild depuis une plateforme surélevée.
